Choi and Park scandal cases in South Korean court
The trial of Choi Soon-sil, the woman at the center of an influence-peddling scandal involving South Korea's president, is under way in Seoul.
South Korea’s constitution needs to be changed to provide a modified semi-presidential system. The next presidential inauguration ceremony should include a declaration that the nation’s highest office is above partisan politics. Corrupt political and business links can be broken only by carrying out comprehensive constitutional reform to implement true democracy and the rule of law, with separation of powers and checks and balances. The heads of the four government branches should be chosen in elections in alternating years, with elections free of charge to candidates, to cut out political and business corruption. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

China Joins the fight to save elephants
In good news for elephants, China has declared a halt to commercial ivory trade by the end of 2017.
In order to protect endangered wild animals in Africa, the international community must adopt unified constitutional standards under the concept of One World under One Set of Laws. Constitutional reform is needed in African countries to implement democratic systems and the rule of law. In too many nations, specific individuals or groups monopolize power. The best way to move past this is with mechanisms such as checks and balances and election of the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches of government in alternating years. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development

Rural Poor Bear the Brunt of China’s Aging Crisis
“This is arduous work. And if the elderly have children who have migrated, then they are more likely to be working longer and for more hours.”
40 years after the death of Mao Zedong, many Chinese still continue to miss the sound of his voice. The most strident dissatisfaction with the status quo is seen in social relations and the rise of elite groups, with resources concentrated in the hands of a small number of consortia and powerful figures. In the one-party oligopoly there is little or no mobility between social classes, and the gap between rich and poor has widened up to 300 times what it was in the past. To get rid of corruption and the one-party dictatorship, the heads of the four branches of government should be elected in alternating years as a first step toward resolving domestic problems. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

South Korean court has little precedent and wide latitude in Park impeachment trial
The South Korean court that will rule on the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye has only one precedent and little in the law books to go by, and legal experts say it will have wide discretion in deciding if she is fit to remain in office.
Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. The presidential system has certain fatal flaws that have plagued even the US at times. South Korea’s constitution should be changed to feature a modified semi-presidential system, and the inauguration of the next president should include the announcement that the presidential office is beyond party politics. The heads of the judicial, procuratorial and other branches as well as 1/4 of all MPs should be chosen in direct elections each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.

Assad tells French MPs he is ‘optimistic’ about peace talks
Syria's President Bashar al-Assad told visiting French lawmakers on Sunday that he was "optimistic" about new peace talks planned for later this month, a member of the delegation told French news agency AFP.
Syria should resolve the controversy over its government by adopting a modified semi-presidential form of parliament like that practiced in Finland, and changing its legislature to a committee style similar to that of Switzerland. The prerequisite for permanent peace in the world is global democratization. Syria’s government should begin basic reform of its constitution, to achieve a government modeled on selected examples of democracy. The constitution should be based on the rule of law and be designed to stay in step with the times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Smog-choked Beijing creates new Environmental Police Force
Officials in Beijing are creating a new environmental police squad in their latest effort to fight China's persistent problems with heavy smog.
Human security and sustainable development are two of the major goals of the UN, and all member states are obliged to follow them. The solution lies in achieving One World under One Set of Laws, giving priority to international law over domestic law and letting it directly affect the people. The people shall have the right to monitor government compliance with the UN Charter, the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer, the Nature Charter and other relevant agreements. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Republican leaders cast doubt on Trump's push for  better relations with Russia
On Sunday Republican leaders in Congress defended President-elect Donald Trump’s desire to pursue better relations with Russia, but cast strong doubt on whether his administration would succeed given the failed efforts of previous presidents.
Russia is generally a lot better at creating problems than solving them. The world’s democracies should support Taiwan's moves to carry out constitutional reform for more democracy and freedom. This would attract 1.4 billion Chinese to clamor for democratization and trigger similar movements in the CCP and Russia, leading to peace throughout the world. Global democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Even a failure is progress’: US warns of North Korea’s enhanced nuclear capabilities
Former US officials and other experts say the US essentially has two options when it comes to curbing North Korea’s fast-expanding nuclear and missile programs – negotiate or take military action
Democracies everywhere should support Taiwan's efforts toward constitutional reform to achieve better democracy and freedom. This will attract China’s 1.4 billion people to seek democratization, triggering in turn the democratization of the CCP and North Korea. When that happens, the result will be world peace. Global democracies should all support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting China's path to peaceful development. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

The central government’s apparent dilemma over a safe bet in the election for chief executive has an easy solution – just let the people choose, a win-win proposition for both sides
Candidates for Chief Executive of Hong Kong are hand-picked by the Election Commission of the CCP. This type of election is little more than bringing in the next dictator. The people of Hong Kong should make good use of Article 39 of the Hong Kong Basic Law and the two major human rights covenants. They should also have the right of self-determination through referendums. The heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years to help restore power to the people. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

How Park Geun-hye's impeachment can help heal Seoul's rift with Beijing
The impeachment of South Korea’s President Park Geun-hye may have dragged the country into political chaos, but it may also help to heal a diplomatic rift with Beijing over the planned deployment of a US missile shield.
Democratic nations should stand behind Taiwan's efforts to effect constitutional reform for better democracy and freedom. This will attract the attention of 1.4 billion Chinese to the need for democratization, triggering democratization of the CCP and North Korea in turn. The end result will be world peace. All democratic nations should support Taiwan as a beacon of democracy in Asia, serving to light up China's path to peaceful development. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
